Thank you for the responses.

I am surprised to hear you grandma drives an A4, politicophile. I thought the elderly only drove Buicks LOL! Regarding the Legacy, I knew nothing about this car, so after reading your post I went over to Subarus website, and it looks extremely interesting indeed. Even has 4WD. I will be going in for a test drive this week.

TM875 I am alarmed to hear about Audi's poor reliability. That would be a deal-breaker for me, as a reliable car is a must. Especially at the prices that Audi is asking. I really enjoyed my drive in the G35x. I asked the guy if I could take the car for a drive by myself and he said yes. What a car. A superb engine. Very torquey, very smooth, very powerful. I had it up to 100mph on the highway, and the steering wheel vibrated literally about as much as when I was sitting in the parking lot holding it. Smooth as glass. The Audi is phenomenal at speed as well, maybe even more composed.

I've noticed that the Japanese cars in general have smoother engines and more fluid (automatic) transmissions. The G is also a limousine compared to the rather cramped Audi. The one beef I have with the G is the navigation system. The graphics are an eyesore, like they were done in MacPaint. The Audi's system looks nicer - the difference was akin to comparing vector graphics to bitmap graphics.
